Coins of Dragon - Hold & Win Review

Extra Features

Here’s a look into all the game features available in Coins of Dragon – Hold & Win.

Wilds

Wild symbols appear across all three reels and substitute for all symbols except Bonus and Dragon Bonus symbols. These Wilds help complete winning combinations across the five paylines, so you might get more winning opportunities.

Hold & Win Feature

The Hold & Win Feature is, of course, the game’s centerpiece. It triggers when 3 or more Bonus symbols land, with at least one being a Dragon Bonus symbol. Once triggered, the feature awards 3 respins and transforms gameplay entirely.

During the Hold & Win Feature, any Dragon Bonus symbols that appear lock in place on the reels for the duration of the feature. Standard Bonus symbols that land are cleared from the reels to make room for new symbols, creating opportunities for more valuable Dragon Bonus symbols to fill the grid. Each time a new Bonus or Dragon Bonus symbol appears, the Respin counter resets back to 3, extending the feature and creating multiple chances to accumulate wins.

The feature continues until either all positions are filled with Dragon Bonus symbols or the respins run out without new qualifying symbols landing.

The Jackpots

Coins of Dragon – Hold & Win features four total progressive jackpot levels that are available during the Hold & Win Feature. They are the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand prizes. These jackpots are triggered by accumulating specific Dragon Bonus symbols during the feature round.

The Grand Jackpot is the highest tier and contributes the most to the game’s maximum winning potential.

Pot of Gold

In the base game, any Bonus or Dragon Bonus symbols that land on the reels provide a chance to trigger the Pot of Gold feature. This mini-feature awards instant access to Hold & Win Feature rounds without needing the standard 3+ Bonus symbol trigger.

The Pot of Gold occurs randomly with a trigger chance of approximately 1 in 408 paid spins, adding an element of surprise to base game play and providing an alternative route into the main feature.

Buy Bonus

The Buy Bonus allows players to bypass base game play entirely and purchase immediate access to the Hold & Win Feature by clicking the Buy Bonus button.

This option triggers the Hold & Win Feature with 3 respins instantly. It costs 50x the stake. One key thing about this feature is that it starts with a slightly enhanced RTP of 96.20% compared to the base game’s 96.02%. Though, the maximum win potential is slightly lower (9,846x versus 10,976x).

Please note that this feature may not be available in all markets due to regulatory restrictions.

Our Experience with Coins of Dragon

Coins of Dragon – Hold & Win is yet another Coins of slot with Hold & Win. For what is worth, we are quite used to seeing the mix of features, and the only thing that changes is the theme and visuals.

So can we say that it’s good? It’s solid, if you like repetitive games. To be honest, first-time players who are unaware of previous Betsoft games will probably like the game. It’s simple, elegant, and focused on gameplay, which is perfect for players who like to cut to the chase.

But those who are used to Betsoft games might decide to skip it altogether because the game honestly does not contribute anything innovative or even new to the slot community.

It is fun, we’ll give you that. I liked it because of the theme (dragons are always fun) but the overall experience is okay. Nothing special, but enjoyable if you are new here or if you like the theme and features.
